I think live trade calling is a mugs game and serves no trading benefit for the caller. That said, I'll give Visaria his dues. He calls entry price as close to real time as possible and posts a hard stop...

long 879...30 point stop

thought i had an order to buy at 75...but must have cancelled it.

Simple really, the big boys are all shorting the ES as the "suckers" keep buying it from them like LITTLE children with their hands out for more candy..LOL

Not trying to pick a fight with you but where do you get this data from to make a comment like this? Last Week's Commitment of Traders report shows an INCREASE in Longs from the Large/Institutional Traders compared to the previous report. It is technically wrong to say "the big boys" are all shorting. Large Spec has increased their longs and price continues to go up. "Commercial Spec" is short but that is just insurance/hedging their Longs in individual stocks with insurance in the ES.

MM,

-- how about posting a longer term chart of the data rather than a cherry picked short term snapshot? This type of data needs to be considered over the longer term--taking one week against the next really doesn't show what is happening.
